Coral- I’m sending you good vibes and I hope everything goes off exactly how you want it too!❤️❤️
I WON!
My whole life (and probably yours) people will say “you win some…you lose some”
Today I won. Not ALL stones have stayed permanently in the castings, but the majority of them did.
This process of casting stones in place with iron is some thing that I’ve been researching since 2016, it is extremely exciting to have such an interesting and finicky research project going.
I’m grateful that I’ve been given the chance to do it with more frequency as of late.
Thanks so much for being interested and I’ll keep you apprised of how things are developing.
Love always,
Laura
PS
Thanks for showing me a good time
(And now for the hashtags)
Love ya’!
Quick coffee and breakfast before going to open my molds!
For me, opening sand molds is always like opening gifts from Santa on Christmas morning.
But I have so many questions…
Did the molds work or did they fail?
Did the CZ stones fracture from the heat or did they hold strong?
Was the metal hot enough to flow all the way around the stones and capture them?
Will the stones stay in the castings or was there a flaw in that area of the mold?
With my current artistic research there is an interesting amount of excitement and uncertainty but it keeps me engaged and on my toes! ❤️💃🏻

If you're new here welcome! My name is Laura Mullen Vermilye and I am an iron casting metal artist. Being a cast iron artist is an interesting - and at times tough journey, but the rewards far exceed all challenges. While working with cast iron to create my art I am exposed to an amazing community of artists who are as dedicated and passionate as I am. The cast iron art culture is a major influence in my life and on my work and I want to share this artistic adventure with anyone who is interested in seeing hard working people make amazing art with a hot and dangerous material. To do this, I make vlog style videos on this channel that chronicle the artwork that I am currently making and my journeys in Metalsmithing and iron casting. In between casting and metal art videos you may also see some behind the scenes footage of me roaming around the heart of the Midwest and the Ozarks. Thank you to all you folks that are as interested in my small metal project as you are in my cast iron art! Thanks for tunin' in, and as always - I love you.
So grateful for Steve Reider’s generosity with his time and information about Sloss in the most recently released episode of The !
He gave a wonderfully insightful interview that details tons of Sloss history as well as information about how he plans to help the Sloss Team and Artists in Residence program grow.
Check out the full interview on YouTube by searching for “The podCAST IRON” or find it on any of your favorite podcast platforms (Spotify, iTunes, ect…)
New full length feature film out now! Tune in to catch my trials and tribulations as I struggle for two years to make a custom cast iron skillet for a customer.
It’s available to watch now on the Cast Iron Gypsy YouTube page.

Episode 2 of making a Mini Silver Vice is now live on the YouTube channel!! I have donated this piece to the @metalmuseum in Memphis, TN and they will auction it off to the highest bidder on Friday, October 21 at the 2023 Repair Days Auction. Stay tuned for more details because it may be an online auction…!#metalmuseum #metalmuseummemphis #repairdays #repairdays2023 #repairdaysauction #siver #silversmith #silversmithing #metalsmith #metalsmithing #tinytools #tinytool #minitools #minivice
Simple joys. I remember when I was taught how to tap and die, I felt like with that knowledge I could make anything work. I still feel that way today and always get a kick out of the simplest fact that if you have the right tap and you drill the right size hole the rest of the story writes itself. Sending love and I hope you have a great day!!🥰#asmr #metalsmith #metalsmithing #tapanddie #tapthat
